Banh Beo
Lisa H.

Viet restaurant with plenty of seating & parking. The only complaint I have for this place is please give water, utensils, and paper out first before serving the food. Other than that the service was alright. FOOD RATINGS Banh Canh Cha Ca: 3.5/5 Banh Beo: 4/5

Hôm nay có lẽ là thất vọng nhất từ trước tới giờ!! Mình order mì quảng chả cá và bánh canh chả cá, chả cá và tôm đều bị thiêu!! Chua lè!!! Lò chả cá mà để chả thiêu bán cho khách! Chịu thua luôn!

Probably my favorite place to eat in Bellaire, honestly! I'm usually pretty picky with Vietnamese food but this was right up my alley. Taste was good, portion was just enough, price was fair. Oh and their apetitzers were also amazing and plentiful to choose from! Had a tough time narrowing down to just two.

Banh mi cha ca (fried fish cake)
Jennifer N.

If you don't like fish cake, then you definitely don't want to come here. I saw a post that named this place with one of the best sandwiches... I thought "okay - it's fish cake, but maybe have also serve the traditional banh mis." Yeah, no. They only had fish cake sandwich and a banh bot loc which is shrimp and pork clear dumplings - very strange. We still tried the fried fish cake sandwich to see what the hype was about ... I think I'll stick to the traditional ones. For appetizers, we ordered the banh beo and egg rolls. Banh beo is not a common thing to see in Viet restaurants (at least I don't think so) and I don't think it's something non-Viets would order. I grew up eating these in trays where they were neatly half stacked on each other and covered in minced shrimp and mung bean. The first time I ate single servings was at Nam Giao and it was delicious! This place does the single servings as well, but their serving size was bigger. I would have to say that this banh beo is better than Nam Giao. It's hotter, fresher, and softer. The egg rolls were a bit of disappointment. They were bite size, so they were cute, but the flavor wasn't incredible. For entrees, we had the Bun Bo Da Nang (Beef Noodle Da Nang region) and Canh (Viet Udon). Both weren't bad but like I said earlier - it's all fish cake! Lots and lots of fish cake! I felt bad because we couldn't finish all the fish cake! If you like fish cake, you'll get fish cake!

Small restaurant, featuring traditional Vietnamese cuisine. Fast service. Plenty of free parking. Large menu with tasty food.

I didn't know what to expect when we came in but my dad really wanted to try is so we made a stop of dinner. This plaza is surrounded by restaurants. It was a tough decision between this and Bun Bo Hue midnight. Ultimately, we settled for this. They specialize in fish cakes so noodles and fish cakes and fish caskets you can buy to heat up at home. Surprisingly, everything was delicious. The banh beo and banh bot loc tran were delicious. They're pretty bite size small so order at least two to share if you're planning on eating them as appetizers. The spring rolls were mini size but they came out crunchy. There was just so much flavor in every dish. The fish cake dry noodles were yummy. My least favorite was the wontons. They weren't as crunchy as other items and kinda soft.

Food is really good. Cons they need more help. We waited 30 min for them to clean one table. There were 5-6 dirty tables. That about 30-40% of tables. Bun cha ca 4/5 star Ban beo 4/5 Ban bot 4/5 Mini egg roll 4/5

Banh Beo

The fish cake noodle soup here is the type of hot noodle soup you crave on a gloomy, rainy day. Tasty yet clean flavor in the broth that just warms up and rejuvenates your entire body. The fishcake has a very enjoyable bouncy texture, mixing in perfectly with the soft rice noodles and crisp cabbage. They also do a dry version with soup on the side. Aside from the noodle soup, they offer smaller appetizer type dishes such as Banh Beo, steamed fresh to order. The Banh Xeo that usually comes as a giant crepe is served taco sized instead, which I found very amusing. #214

Odd soup flavors to me. The bamboo noodle broth mixed with 3/4 different types of pork meat cake did not seem to work well together for me. Maybe it is a special palate I need to have to enjoy? Not sure here but definitely was not a fan. The rice cakes with toppings (Banh Beo) was decent though. 3 stars for that. Other than that, one time try for me.

Fish cake party soup
Roger D.

This soup come thick or clear. This region is known for their fish patties so it good try beside pho which is beef or chicken. The fresh garlic pepper is my favorite thing along with the broth and fish patties. Give it a try !!

Bun cha ca- 3.6/5
Tri D.

Nice decor, place was clean, service was quick & food was pretty good. I decided to order their Bun cha ca (fish cake noodle soup). The food came out fast which I'm happy about because I was hungry. My first sip, WOW the soup was scorching tongue burning hot so I had to wait a few mins to dive in. The broth was good, you get a hint of sweetness and a nice amount of savoriness. In addition, I enjoyed the cabbage, tomatoes & bamboo that was added. This is good for a cold day, if you're sick, or you just want something to rejuvenate yourself. On the other hand the fish cakes were a bit tough, it just had more of a firm texture which I wasn't expecting. It was also stuffed in so much black peppers and to be honest it would've been good without it because the fish cakes were already flavorful. Other than that, it was good. Overall, I was content with my meal, it's not popular like Pho, bun bo hue or ramen but it's something worth ordering. Will I come back? Yes.

Banh Mi Cha Ca
Jessica T.

Mom was raving about this place, so decided to check it out with her. She ordered for us to share a fishcake noodle soup, banh mi, and fish cake with quail egg. Everything was pretty good, and uniquely thought out with the flavors. One thing to note, don't order the lotus ice tea unless you like the taste of perfume. Because, that is what it tasted like. Was not a fan. Other than that, can't wait to come back.

Omg one of the best restaurants we went to in Houston! And we tried sooo many Vietnamese ones. We went on a whim, husband's idea (not this dedicated yelped, lol) and we both were hooked! The place is clean, welcoming with wonderful service. The cashier was also the server and he handled everything great! He was nice, helpful and able to speak English as well. My husband is southern Vietnamese with a cuisine that is quite different from other regions of Vietnam. We tried da Bang's version of banh beo and fell in love! It's also different from the southern Vietnamese way, thicker with more topping on top, and omg sooo good! this was our first time trying this noodle soup dish from da nang. Amazing! The broth was complex, clean and so aromatic! The cha ca or fried fish cake that they are famous for was honestly the best cha ca I have ever had! We loved it so much we bought it from the restaurant, and bought all the supply they had since we were leaving the next day. We shared it with our friends and family back in Philly who all loved it as much as we did! There is a sister business who just does the fish cake, but we have friends and family who visit Houston often enough that we will send a small carry on next time for our stash of cha ca

You are immediately transported into New York for sure! Along with New York, we got the schmucks attitude from the 2 men playing hosts. It was a non-busy Sunday night and these two wanted to sit my underage son and I at the bar. Really?! They were obnoxious and rude and put us on a wait list when there clearly were tables. However, my waiter and even the kitchen staff made up for that hiccup with their wonderful attitudes and service! As always, love the broadway decor and music- plus the tables and chairs set the nostalgia. The prices are exactly what you would expect in the Galleria area so don't think this is a quick cheap deli! Quality rules!

I don't see many places that specialize on udon. Ishin does it well with a big variety of udon…read moredishes from Japanese to Italian inspired and soups to curries. It's a small and cozy place that can get packed around peak hours. I got the beef curry udon with a side of tonkatsu. The tonkatsu was tender and crunchy and made an excellent addition to the soft and creamy udon. The curry was one of my favorites I've tried so far, a generous, flavorful helping that wasn't overly salty or spicy. They also gave a good amount of tender sliced beef as well. If you're out looking for udon specifically, this place has all sorts of good options for you to choose from.

Not many restaurants in Houston offer Takowasa, which is marinated raw octopus with wasabi; and when we find one that does, it's our must order for appetizers. We also ordered the chicken karaage and agedashi tofu. The karaage was juicy and slightly larger than the size of popcorn chicken. The tofu was soft and lightly battered, however the downside is that it gets soggy quickly since it's sitting in the sauce rather than on the side. For our entrees, we got the carbonara, curry tonkatsu rice, niku tama ankake, and kakuni udon. The carbonara was nice and creamy. The curry rice tastes exactly like the Japanese box curry. The niku tama is more of a thicker soup base similar to egg drop soup, however has a more slightly sweet umami flavor. The kakuni udon had a lighter broth with braised pork belly. The service was a bit slow here, but we didn't mind it too much. The interior had a cute traditional Japanese style decor. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and we'll be back to try other udons.

Wow! Just... wow…read more Loved this place from the moment I walked in! Ambiance was super fun and welcoming. The tubs of ice filled with cold drinks all around as you approach the counter was casual and fun. And the staff was welcoming and friendly. The menu had so much variety, without being overwhelming. Anything from a good pazole, to a brisket Rueben, to an American Italian sandwich! I got the báhn mì sandwich, which was bursting with flavor! The pork was seasoned well and had good flavor from the marinade. The cilantro, pickled onions, jalapeno, all were so fresh and vibrant! And I was able to get homemade chips and fresh strawberries as my side - such a refreshing bite the strawberries after a rich, porky, spicy bite from the sandwich. Can't say enough good!

Before their recent expansions to Austin, it all began here in Rice Village exactly 15 years ago. The vibes are contemporary and casual, with the kind of space that fits for just about any scenario. Whether it's a solo meal, a lunch date, or a group led affair, the experience is almost always an excellent one. Start by ordering at the counter and find a seat where the food will brought directly to the table. So much of their variety caters to all sorts of dietary restrictions from vegan to gluten free to nut free. Their spicy crispy brussels sprouts ($10) are a nice starter, as is the squash "onion" rings ($12). The local power bowl ($16) is a classic and I've always enjoyed the brown rice and quinoa combo. Their chicken "posolé" is solid, and I love the large hominy bits along with the clear but green tint of a broth. The chicken shawarma bowl ($20) is an interesting mix that includes pickled beets and strawberries, along with their market cheddar burger ($17) and fabulous twice cooked fries. The carrot cupcake is strangely addicting, and I think their gluten free brownie is a bit of a sleeper. Some of their items didn't jive with me previously, such as an underwhelming cashew queso ($9), a semi-laughable Vietnamese steak bowl ($22), and their semi-gringo version of a banh mi ($15). It's not that these items are bad per se, but they definitely don't live up to the same standard that I feel their other dishes do best. Where they hit the biggest home run is their customer service. Everyone working behind the counter does their best to deliver and they almost always do by staying on top of refills, cleanups, and customer greets. I've always enjoyed my experiences here and look forward to every visit.
